Construction Update | July 30, 2026 

Raised Median Safety Improvements 

Over the course of the project, crews have installed six raised medians throughout the corridor near the I-15 Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI), along 5600 South, 1900 West and 3500 West intersections. Raised medians are designed to improve safety by reducing conflict points, helping prevent severe crashes, and improving overall traffic flow. Drivers should plan ahead and use designated intersections and median openings when making left-turns or U-turns.

Learn more about how raised medians improve safety and how to navigate them by watching UDOT's education video here.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Improvements 

Crews completed significant pedestrian and bicycle improvements throughout the corridor, including new sidewalks, shared-use paths, enhanced crosswalks, and green pavement markings at select locations to help increase visibility and alert drivers to areas where bicylists may be present.

As you travel through the corridor, watch for pedestrians in crosswalks, be aware of bicyclists, obey traffic signals, and allow extra space when passing people walking or riding.

Final Work Continues Along the I-15 and 5600 South Corridor 

Construction crews are completing final punch list items throughout the corridor as the project approaches completion. During this time, drivers may see brief, intermittent lane or shoulder closures, equipment along the roadway, and crews performing final inspections, sign installation, striping touch-ups, and other finishing work. Drivers should expect minimal traffic impacts.

5600 South Sign Installation Activities

Over the next couple of weeks, crews will install the remaining overhead sign materials throughout the corridor. While this work is expected to have minimal impacts to traffic, drivers may experience brief, short-duration lane or shoulder restrictions during sign installation work.

Daytime Finish Up Work Continues Through July 

Crews will continue daytime improvements along the corridor throughout July. Work will include sign and fence installation, gore painting, which is the white striped pavement markings that separate travel lanes from ramps and merge areas.

Most work will take place along the roadway shoulders, so drivers should expect minimal to no travel delays. Drivers are encouraged to slow down, stay alert, and watch for crews working near the roadway.
